Last year multiple WCWS players entered the portal once the finals was over. Bahl, Maxwell, Vawter to name a few

And we got zero of those types of players last year and without going to the WCWS that hurts because those types of players want to win.

We didn't lose because of pitching but it would've been nice to get Vawter or Keeney. Vawter just wasted away at South Carolina.

Both I would say had sub par seasons especially Vawter. Would either have helped Pickens and Gottshall in terms of innings would’ve been a 3rd different look for opponents but you can’t win the portal game every year.

Would have been hard to land one of those last year with Pickens and Payton returning. This year should be easier to pull a portal pitcher with Payton gone.

Allegedly we led for Keeney until her visit to OU. And she's splitting innings with May, Maxwell and Deal.

Also it's not like there were no innings to go around this year. Pickens and Gotshall only pitched as many innings as they did because there was no real talent behind them.

I wouldn't say Keeney has had a subpar season. Her inning count isn't very high because she's splitting time with three other pitchers. She only has a 1.67 ERA.

It’s very subpar based on going over 200 innings at Liberty to under 60 at OU. Splitting innings as a 3 or 4 isn’t ideal for any top tier pitcher if you’re not going in as the #1. She would have had roughly the same here in the end.

Nope. Talent is what you display WHEN you are put in the game. Don’t think anyone can make a real case that the staff squandered any available talent.

Hate it for a bunch of them. Bet they don’t have a good handle on simultaneous lack of production, nor any of them coming through with a timely hit with runners on.

Jamison Brockenbrough - Softball - University of Tennessee Athletics This girl would have played a lot of softball for me. Talent sitting on the bench the whole season. Talent is shown at practice, it is put to practice when you are in the game.

Yes i feel the same, I know there were issues that occurred that put her in the doghouse and on the bench but if you play her once you might as well let her play as much as needed. She hits a homerun her first at bat in a long time then you wait until you start throwing hail marys to get a hit and play her. I hate that she's transferring but wish her the very best. I've got a feeling we will see her again but as an opponent.

The phrase “the passing faze” could refer to a temporary phase or trend that is expected to pass or fade away with time. However, without additional context, it’s difficult to provide a specific explanation or summary. If you’re referring to a particular event or topic, please provide more details so I can assist you better. 😊

Edit: didn't plan on posting that. 🤦‍♂️

Coaching

Correct, she is not a great coach especially in the NCAA tournament and offensively but she is a good coach. She is very Rick Barnes like in the sense that they will win far more than they lose in the regular season but she has shown that time and again with very good teams they cannot score consistently against good teams in the postseason.
